back to reality... sponsors can do a lot to prevent this.
1. They can delete these account when someone complains about it and redistribute the money they made into higher payouts. I will fucking hire someone to load up every spy bot other onto a pc and have then sit there all day and report these fuckers.
2. The sponsor can set a cookie that can not be over written for say 2 hours. So when they try to hijack my cookie seconds after it is set they can not. I won't lose the sale then.
3. They can check ips on all sales. When they get a sale, they check all ips and if it the same ip set another cookie to a different account with in a couple minutes or less of the one that got the sale, then they know it is bullshit and who to give credit of the sale to.
that is just a couple things off the top of my head and I know nothing about server side/ programming. I am sure somethign can be done to stop this.

All these ideas require changes on the sponsor end, but like someone said before, sponsors don't really care... and even if you manage to get sponsor to shut down their account, the spyware owner will just create a new account the next day...
also, 2 and 3 won't work, not sure if you know, but spyware has complete control over the web browser, so they can simply prevent your cookie from getting set in the first place, and just send their cookie to the sponsor...
